Where are you from?
Grew up in Honduras, moved to Miami as a kid for about 10 years. Moved to Orlando to be with family.

What does it mean to you to be a part of the growing art culture in Orlando?
I love being apart of the pioneering phase in Orlando. We get to instill the idea of positive expression in the local community.

How did you get into art?
I got into it for expression purposes. When I moved here from Honduras I couldn't speak much English so I used art to express and communicate. I remember sitting in the back of my classes and doodling in my books when I was a kid.
